I use ACI. They’re $50 per quarter. That includes cleaning the filters and adjusting the heads as needed. They’re far from perfect either but I’m satisfied enough with them that I haven’t resorted to doing it myself yet.

I do everything myself except dig holes to glue pipes together. I don't let anyone touch my controller because I know how it works better than any sprinkler expert. The last time I had a broken sprinkler, Massey came the next day and repaired it for free. It is good that you have a regular quarterly service. Some people just wait until they he have a geyser in their yard and then they try to find someone to fix it. This is especially bad if they are out-of-town.
I will add that I did call ACI a few months ago and asked if they had a regular maintenance program. The lady I spoke with said that they do not, and their minimum charge for a visit to the house was $85 for repeat customers and $95 for new customers, plus any additional charges for materials or extra services. Also, there was a recent post on another thread where a poster had called another irrigation service. The guy came out and charged her $300, which she said was "reasonable".
